Often throughout the PR program, we get told from our mentors that our image is everything and it plays a huge role when we’re searching for jobs. What we say on Twitter, and the pictures we post on Facebook and Instagram, reflects our brand. I never really took that advice seriously, but then it hit me that employers will Google you. Your personal brand is about who you are and what you want to be known for. Two months in, I cleaned up my Twitter, untagged a few pictures on Facebook, and started to watch what I say (kind of).

“You can tell a lot by the way someone is dressed, the crease in the pants, the knot in the tie, that wrinkles in the shirt. Don’t let the way you dress interfere with anything.”

Unfortunately, not a lot of people are taking this seriously. Their Twitter is ok, but when you go on Facebook or Instagram, that’s where it gets messy. There are a few people who really don’t know how to dress. I’m not saying you should wear a suit or dress shoes everyday, but don’t wear clothes that reveal everything, everyday… in front of your peers and teachers! When you have an interview at a PR agency, you will want to look your best because most of the people that work there are very fashionable.

Today on PRdrink PRvoker, I want to give you (men and women) tips on how to dress for the career you want! I also have a special guest blogger, Heather Hawke, creator of Off The Rack PR, who is going to be giving her personal tips and favourite styles for women, while I will be talking about my favourite types of casual yet business looks for men.
